Slackers Ninjaline
The Slackers Ninjaline programme is going from strength to strength
following our pilot at Redwoodtown School. Andy (our facilitator) has now
delivered the programme with 4 new entrant classes at 4 schools across
our region.
Here’s what kaiako (teachers) have had to say:
How did this program make a positive difference?“The children looked
forward to the program each week. They were talking with each other
about using courage, being brave and taking turns. I noticed a difference
in gross motor skills and for one child in particular his ability to move and
down the steps and sit comfortably at the table during learning time.”
Would you recommend this program for other schools? “Absolutely! It was awesome and Andy was incredible!”

Rural drama benefits from funds boost
We're stoked to be one of five community organisations selected by forestry company OneFortyOne to receive one of their community grants! This funding will allow us to deliver drama workshops in six rural Marlborough communities so that students can learn new skills in a positive way and build resilience.
